IT’S difficult to find any more superlatives to describe the fundraising efforts of Steve Prescott.

The former St Helens full-back, who is battling a rare form of stomach cancer, finished his latest challenge last week and raised £20,000 for Christie’s Hospital and the Rugby League Development Fund in the process. Over the course of nine days, Steve and his team cycled from Lands End to John O’Groats.

And en route they climbed the highest peaks in Wales, England and Scotland!

On completion of his latest mission, Steve said: “I don’t think any of us realised how tough it was going to be.

“I felt like packing it all in on several occasions but it was all worth it in the end. It was a fantastic feeling crossing the line at John O’Groats – we all felt amazing.

“It has been an unforgettable nine days.”

The Steve Prescott Foundation has now raised £280,000 for their chose charities.
